Since this most recent one didn't have a dust cover, and the one I bought did, the dust cover must be worth about $450. Of course, this one did have all 4 of the pawn crowns, and mine was missing one of the black ones. We had earlier determined that a single black pawn crown was worth $250, so that means the dust cover is really only worth $200. A MB Grandmaster Phantom sold recently, with the dust cover, for only $250. The MB dust cover must not be nearly as rare as the Fidelity one, based on that result. A set of Phantom pawns, 8 white and 8 black, sold recently on eBay for $51. Adding all of these accessories up and subtracting that total from the selling price of this Eyeball, means that this latest "naked" Eyeball is really only worth about $12.89, if my math is correct. And that is only if it actually works, which is in serious doubt. eBay mathematics regards, Dick Schneiders
